GSPCA Appeal for Bric-a-brac

Submitted by GSPCA on 10:06, 27th Feb, 2013 | 0

The GSPCA would like to thank everyone that has been supporting our Tuesday bric-a-brac and coffee mornings as well as our open days.

So we can continue doing these at the Shelter and to help with other events we are appealing for additional bric-a-brac, games, books, clothes and other charity shop items to help raise funds to help rescue and care for animals in Guernsey.

Many of us are having a Spring clean so when you do yours please think of the Animal Shelter and how your unwanted items can make a difference to animals lives.

GSPCA Cupcake Week 25th - 31st March 2013

Submitted by GSPCA on 10:45, 26th Feb, 2013 | 0

Monday 25th March to the 31st March 2013 is the second GSPCA Cupcake Week here in Guernsey.

Can you make/bake & sell cupcakes to raise money for the GSPCA?  By doing so you would be helping many injured and abandoned animals. 

Why not get baking, organise a cupcake sale or coffee morning, or if you're a business maybe sell some on the day and make a percentage to go the GSPCA.

Submitted by GSPCA on 14:03, 21st Feb, 2013 | 0

On Saturday the 9th March the GSPCA will be holding a bric-a-brac sale, coffee morning and guided tours due to demand.

A number of islanders have been asking that we hold a weekend event to enable them to have a look around and see the two seal pups through the one way glass before they are released back to the wild next month.

The day will start at 9.15am with the first tour being at 9.30am.  We are asking for a minimum donation of £5 per person for the tour and we require at least one adult per 6 children.

Tomorrow is not only Valentines day but also the GSPCA is celebrating 140 years caring for animals in Guernsey.

Since being founded in 1873 we have helped care for, rescue, rehabilitate, reunite, release and rehome hundreds of thousands of animals and birds from domestic to wildlife, farm to working and our core beliefs of education and promoting animal welfare are as strong now as they were all those years ago.

Do you have historic pictures or videos of the GSPCA work to help us look back at 140 years history

Submitted by GSPCA on 16:07, 4th Jan, 2013 | 0

Next month the GSPCA will be celebrating 140 years caring for animals in Guernsey and we are appealing for pictures or video clips of the work during our 84 years at our current address or even the early 1900's or late 1800's that anyone that may have.

We have a very good record of our history back until the late 1920's but very few pictures.

Our records include annual reports back to 1929 and even a visitor book from the 1970's with some lovely signatories.
